You can still get very bad with a low fever though she said. That must have been scary, glad you made it through. I wish I had oxygen at home, I was going to get a machine for one of my cats but didn’t.

So far my fever comes and goes, I have a lower normal usually due to hypothyroid. I am taking 1000 mg Tylenol 4 x a day. Highest was 100.1 for a bit last week I think.

I read that ventilators are being overused, they should be using c pap and oxygen more. But ventilators produce less aerosol. I wonder if they know why men are different, I forgot what I read about it now.

Interesting. They gave me 3 tylenol to take at the field hospital. Meowmee Apr 2020 #36
